Til tross for Julies død, prøvde Smilefjesmorderen å holde seg til sin normale timeplan. Han kjørte lastebil over hele landet, stoppet innimellom for å sosialisere med flyktige venner og hadde til og med tilfeldig sex med unge kvinner han møtte på lastebilrasteplassene. En av jentene fikk noen av Julies kåper i gave, som han umiddelbart visste var en feil. Som en mann på nesten førti år var Jesperson bekymret for førerkortet sitt som snart løp ut på dato. Hver gang han så en politimann, visste han ikke om han ville bli spurt om drap, et utløpt førerkort eller noe annet. I løpet av de neste ukene følte han seg paranoid. En natt tok han nesten en jente tilbake til lastebilen sin med morderiske baktanker, men det ble med tankene.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://twitter.com/serialkillerpod Hosted on Acast.

Angelas humør endret seg. I stedet for sinne gikk hun over til forførelse. Paret hadde sex, selv om Keith halvsov. Da han var ferdig og rullet over for å fortsette luren, gikk hun rett tilbake til sinne. Hun ville dra, og hun ville dra umiddelbart. Jesperson brydde seg ikke. Etter at han hadde sovet i tyve minutter, røsket hun tak i ham slik at han våknet. Angela nektet å sitte der i ett minutt til mens de ikke beveget seg. Han snudde ryggen til og gjenopptok søvnen, og prøvde bare å ignorere jenta. Dette pågikk i en time.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://twitter.com/serialkillerpod Hosted on Acast.

De torturerte, lemlestet, terroriserte og myrdet millioner av uskyldige mennesker. De aller fleste nazister i Tyskland på 1930- og 40-tallet var ikke psykopater. Men de ble forført av en ekte psykopat, Adolf Hitler og hans psykopatiske håndlangere som Himmler, Eichmann og Mengele. Seriemordere som Jesperson skiller seg dog fra den gjengse SS soldat på et sentralt punkt. Der de fleste SS soldater måtte drikke seg mot og følte avsky over de grufulle handlingene de utførte i nazismens navn, så oppsøkte Jesperson perversjonen. Han kjente på en voksende lyst, et presserende behov som insisterte mer og mer og mer helt til han ikke klarte å stå imot fristelsen lengre og slo til.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://twitter.com/serialkillerpod Hosted on Acast.

The "Happy Face Killer" is the nickname given to Keith Hunter Jesperson, a notorious American serial killer who operated in the 1990s. Jesperson's killing spree began in 1990 and continued until his arrest in 1995. He earned the moniker "Happy Face Killer" because he sent letters to the media and law enforcement boasting about his crimes, often signing them with a smiley face.Jesperson's victims were primarily women, and he targeted them while working as a long-haul truck driver, allowing him to move across multiple states and evade capture for a time. He was convicted of eight murders, although he claimed to have killed more than 160 people, a claim that is not substantiated. His modus operandi typically involved strangulation.In 1995, Jesperson was apprehended and later sentenced to multiple life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.Now after thirty four years, his sixth victim who has only been known as a Jane doe for all these years, finally has her name back.

In the perplexing case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, a chilling development has surfaced: a pen pal relationship with Keith Jesperson, the notorious Happy Face Killer. This unlikely correspondence, revealed in the latest episode of "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski, featuring psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, adds a macabre twist to an already dark narrative. In prison, solitude can be overwhelming, and receiving letters might offer a glimpse of connection to the outside world. But the choice of Heuermann to correspond with another serial killer is peculiar and raises serious questions about his psyche. Jesperson, infamous for craving attention and sending letters adorned with happy faces to media outlets, now appears to be assuming a mentor-like role for Heuermann. This interaction, as Scott points out, seems to be a display of serial killer narcissism, where Jesperson enjoys the limelight as a self-perceived figure of importance and authority. The letters exchanged between Jesperson and Heuermann, however, are not just idle banter. Jesperson provides advice on prison life and handling legal matters, with a particular focus on advising Heuermann to confess if guilty. Intriguingly, Heuermann's response to Jesperson is marked by gratitude and a lack of denial of his alleged crimes. "Thank you for your letters and advice. They have been a help and a comfort to me. I do understand what you have said and I have taken it to heart," Heuermann writes, notably omitting any assertion of innocence. This response, as Scott notes, is unsettling and may carry deeper implications than the words convey. The handwriting in Heuermann's letter, replete with spelling errors, only adds to the eerie nature of this communication. The fact that Heuermann has chosen Jesperson as his sole pen pal from among many who have written to him is telling. The specificity of this choice suggests a bond or a shared understanding with Jesperson, a convicted serial killer, which could be seen as damning for Heuermann, who maintains his innocence. The relationship between Jesperson and Heuermann seems to have been facilitated by Jesperson's daughter, who initially set up a GoFundMe for Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife. This connection raises questions about the motives behind the correspondence. Was it an orchestrated attempt by Jesperson's daughter, an advocate for victims, to persuade Heuermann towards a confession, or was it a mere ploy for Jesperson to gain attention? Scott's analysis of the letters reveals a potential use of coded language, further deepening the mystery of this bizarre interaction. This detail, if true, could signify a level of complicity or a shared secret understanding between the two men, veiled from public comprehension. The case of Rex Heuermann, already shrouded in darkness and complexity, is now further complicated by this peculiar pen pal relationship. As details continue to emerge, the public and legal communities are left to ponder the implications of Heuermann's interactions with Jesperson. What does this unusual alliance reveal about Heuermann's character and his role in the alleged crimes? As Scott aptly puts it, this is "just another layer that's going to go into the annals of history about strange things about serial killers." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the complex and unfolding case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, the question of optics and public perception has become increasingly crucial. In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony Brueski, Defense Attorney Bob Motta discussed the intricate details of this case, particularly focusing on Heuermann's relationship with his wife, Asa Ellerup, and his unusual correspondence with Keith Jesperson, the Happy Face Killer. Heuermann's situation is further complicated by the fact that his wife, Asa, has a documentary crew, led by 50 Cent's G Unit production team, following her around. The optics of this, as Motta points out, are far from ideal. The decision to have a documentary crew shadow Asa while her husband faces such serious charges raises numerous questions about her judgment and the potential impact on the case. Motta, with his experience as a defense attorney, critically analyzes the implications of Heuermann's actions, particularly his correspondence with Jesperson. Heuermann's response to Jesperson's advice – to admit guilt and move on – is telling, especially considering the context in which this advice is given. Motta interprets this as a significant indicator of Heuermann's state of mind and potentially his guilt. The conversation then shifts to Asa Ellerup's role in this complex scenario. Motta questions her decision to participate in the documentary, given the ongoing legal proceedings against her husband. He draws parallels to the infamous "The Jinx" documentary about Robert Durst, underscoring how such media exposure can backfire dramatically. Motta expresses concern that the documentary might not be a bid for sympathy for Asa but rather a ploy to link her to the crimes or to reveal her complicity. Motta also delves into the details of new DNA evidence found on one of the victims, which could potentially implicate Asa Ellerup. This development adds another layer of complexity to the case, raising the stakes for both Asa and Rex Heuermann. Motta speculates on the nature of this DNA and its potential to change the direction of the case. Considering the current evidence against Rex Heuermann, including DNA linking him to the bodies, Motta discusses the likelihood of the case going to trial. He weighs in on the various factors that could influence Heuermann's decision, including whether the prosecution pursues the death penalty or offers a life sentence deal. Brueski and Motta delve into the larger implications of the case, pondering the role of law enforcement and the potential impact of the leadership changes in the Suffolk County police department. They discuss how these changes might affect the ongoing investigation and the future of the case. In concluding the conversation, Motta emphasizes the critical role of public opinion in shaping the jury pool and the importance of managing optics in high-profile cases like this. He suggests that Heuermann's current path, including his interactions with a convicted serial killer, could significantly damage his case in the eyes of the public and the jury. The interview with Bob Motta provides a nuanced understanding of the Rex Heuermann case, shedding light on the legal, ethical, and psychological aspects at play. As the case continues to evolve, with new evidence and developments coming to light, the conversation leaves the audience with a deeper appreciation of the complexities involved and the potential outcomes that await.

Was it an orchestrated attempt by Jesperson's daughter, an advocate for victims, to persuade Heuermann towards a confession, or was it a mere ploy for Jesperson to gain attention? Scott's analysis of the letters reveals a potential use of coded language, further deepening the mystery of this bizarre interaction. This detail, if true, could signify a level of complicity or a shared secret understanding between the two men, veiled from public comprehension. The case of Rex Heuermann, already shrouded in darkness and complexity, is now further complicated by this peculiar pen pal relationship. As details continue to emerge, the public and legal communities are left to ponder the implications of Heuermann's interactions with Jesperson. What does this unusual alliance reveal about Heuermann's character and his role in the alleged crimes?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In the complex and unfolding case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, the question of optics and public perception has become increasingly crucial. In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony Brueski, Defense Attorney Bob Motta discussed the intricate details of this case, particularly focusing on Heuermann's relationship with his wife, Asa Ellerup, and his unusual correspondence with Keith Jesperson, the Happy Face Killer. Heuermann's situation is further complicated by the fact that his wife, Asa, has a documentary crew, led by 50 Cent's G Unit production team, following her around. The optics of this, as Motta points out, are far from ideal. The decision to have a documentary crew shadow Asa while her husband faces such serious charges raises numerous questions about her judgment and the potential impact on the case. Motta, with his experience as a defense attorney, critically analyzes the implications of Heuermann's actions, particularly his correspondence with Jesperson. Heuermann's response to Jesperson's advice – to admit guilt and move on – is telling, especially considering the context in which this advice is given. Motta interprets this as a significant indicator of Heuermann's state of mind and potentially his guilt. The conversation then shifts to Asa Ellerup's role in this complex scenario. Motta questions her decision to participate in the documentary, given the ongoing legal proceedings against her husband. He draws parallels to the infamous "The Jinx" documentary about Robert Durst, underscoring how such media exposure can backfire dramatically. Motta expresses concern that the documentary might not be a bid for sympathy for Asa but rather a ploy to link her to the crimes or to reveal her complicity. Motta also delves into the details of new DNA evidence found on one of the victims, which could potentially implicate Asa Ellerup. This development adds another layer of complexity to the case, raising the stakes for both Asa and Rex Heuermann. Motta speculates on the nature of this DNA and its potential to change the direction of the case. Considering the current evidence against Rex Heuermann, including DNA linking him to the bodies, Motta discusses the likelihood of the case going to trial. He weighs in on the various factors that could influence Heuermann's decision, including whether the prosecution pursues the death penalty or offers a life sentence deal. Brueski and Motta delve into the larger implications of the case, pondering the role of law enforcement and the potential impact of the leadership changes in the Suffolk County police department. They discuss how these changes might affect the ongoing investigation and the future of the case. In concluding the conversation, Motta emphasizes the critical role of public opinion in shaping the jury pool and the importance of managing optics in high-profile cases like this. He suggests that Heuermann's current path, including his interactions with a convicted serial killer, could significantly damage his case in the eyes of the public and the jury. The interview with Bob Motta provides a nuanced understanding of the Rex Heuermann case, shedding light on the legal, ethical, and psychological aspects at play. As the case continues to evolve, with new evidence and developments coming to light, the conversation leaves the audience with a deeper appreciation of the complexities involved and the potential outcomes that await.

In the perplexing case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, a chilling development has surfaced: a pen pal relationship with Keith Jesperson, the notorious Happy Face Killer. This unlikely correspondence, revealed in the latest episode of "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski, featuring psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, adds a macabre twist to an already dark narrative. In prison, solitude can be overwhelming, and receiving letters might offer a glimpse of connection to the outside world. But the choice of Heuermann to correspond with another serial killer is peculiar and raises serious questions about his psyche. Jesperson, infamous for craving attention and sending letters adorned with happy faces to media outlets, now appears to be assuming a mentor-like role for Heuermann. This interaction, as Scott points out, seems to be a display of serial killer narcissism, where Jesperson enjoys the limelight as a self-perceived figure of importance and authority. The letters exchanged between Jesperson and Heuermann, however, are not just idle banter. Jesperson provides advice on prison life and handling legal matters, with a particular focus on advising Heuermann to confess if guilty. Intriguingly, Heuermann's response to Jesperson is marked by gratitude and a lack of denial of his alleged crimes. "Thank you for your letters and advice. They have been a help and a comfort to me. I do understand what you have said and I have taken it to heart," Heuermann writes, notably omitting any assertion of innocence. This response, as Scott notes, is unsettling and may carry deeper implications than the words convey. The handwriting in Heuermann's letter, replete with spelling errors, only adds to the eerie nature of this communication. The fact that Heuermann has chosen Jesperson as his sole pen pal from among many who have written to him is telling. The specificity of this choice suggests a bond or a shared understanding with Jesperson, a convicted serial killer, which could be seen as damning for Heuermann, who maintains his innocence. The relationship between Jesperson and Heuermann seems to have been facilitated by Jesperson's daughter, who initially set up a GoFundMe for Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife. This connection raises questions about the motives behind the correspondence. Was it an orchestrated attempt by Jesperson's daughter, an advocate for victims, to persuade Heuermann towards a confession, or was it a mere ploy for Jesperson to gain attention?

In the ever-unfolding saga of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, a new and bizarre twist has emerged, adding another layer of complexity to an already convoluted narrative. Heuermann, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, has found a peculiar source of solace: Keith Jesperson, infamously known as the Happy Face Killer. The development of their pen pal relationship raises questions about Heuermann's mindset and the optics of associating with a convicted serial killer. In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delve into the implications of this unusual correspondence. "Jesperson is known as Igor, and Heuermann is known as Ogre," Scott notes, highlighting the unusual nicknames that add to the strangeness of their interaction. Jesperson, a notorious figure for his attention-seeking behavior, has always enjoyed the spotlight. His outreach to Heuermann appears to be another act of serial killer narcissism, an attempt to stay relevant and feel important. Heuermann's response to Jesperson's letters adds to the intrigue. His expressions of gratitude and acknowledgment that Jesperson's advice has been a comfort to him are curious, especially considering Heuermann's insistence on his innocence. "He never said, 'Oh, by the way, I'm innocent. I didn't do it.' He said, 'I'll consider your advice,'" Scott points out. This lack of assertion of innocence in his reply to Jesperson could be seen as telling. The handwriting in Heuermann's letter, replete with spelling errors and a certain creepiness, offers another avenue for analysis. His choice to communicate only with Jesperson, dismissing other correspondences, suggests a bond or understanding with the convicted killer that warrants further examination. The connection between Jesperson and Heuermann seems to have stemmed from Jesperson's daughter, who initially set up a GoFundMe for Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife. The daughter's role as an advocate for victims and her questionable decision to support Ellerup raises questions about her involvement in facilitating this communication. Was this an attempt to encourage Heuermann to admit guilt and spare further pain for the victims' families? "It's certainly plausible," Scott muses, acknowledging the complexities of this situation. The optics of this relationship are undeniably bizarre, especially in a case already shrouded in mystery and controversy. As Brueski and Scott discuss, every new revelation in the Heuermann case adds another layer of strangeness to an already unusual story. The implications of Heuermann's interactions with Jesperson, the potential coded language in their letters, and the connection to Jesperson's daughter are just some of the aspects that make this case both fascinating and disturbing. As the case continues to unfold, the public and legal communities alike are left pondering what this latest development means for Heuermann's defense and the overall narrative of the alleged Long Island serial killer. With so many questions still unanswered, the world watches and waits to see what other twists and turns this case might take. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the ever-evolving and increasingly bizarre case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, a new development has emerged that seems straight out of a thriller movie. Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, has found herself at the center of a documentary being filmed for the Peacock Network. This revelation, coupled with the fact that Heuermann has now become pen pals with Keith Jesperson, the notorious Happy Face Killer, adds yet another layer of complexity to an already convoluted saga. Tony Brueski, the host of "Hidden Killers," delved into these developments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent. The documentary, which is being produced by 50 Cent and G Unit Productions, promises to follow Ellerup as she navigates her new reality. This decision, however, has not been free from criticism. Many view this move as a tasteless monetization of a tragedy, raising questions about the ethical implications of profiting from a criminal case still under investigation. Dreeke pointed out that Ellerup, whether she likes it or not, has been thrust into a role similar to that of the daughter of the Happy Face Killer - living in the shadow of a family member's infamous crimes. One of the most interesting aspects of the documentary is the contractual stipulation that Ellerup will not have creative control, and the proceeds cannot be used for Heuermann's defense. This condition seems to be a strategic move to maintain a semblance of ethical integrity. However, questions remain about the true impact of such a project on the victims' families, who continue to seek justice and closure. Further complicating matters is Heuermann's newfound correspondence with Keith Jesperson. This peculiar development has baffled many, including Dreeke, who noted that it is extremely rare for serial killers to correspond. The content of Heuermann's letters, in which he expresses gratitude and a sense of comfort from Jesperson's advice, adds to the enigma surrounding his character and intentions. This unusual pen pal relationship raises red flags about Heuermann's psychological state and possible motivations. It also leads to speculation about the nature of the relationship between Ellerup and Jesperson's daughter, who initially reached out to Ellerup in a show of solidarity and support. The case's complexity is further compounded by the involvement of Asa's children, who are inadvertently caught in the crossfire of their father's alleged criminal activities and their mother's controversial decisions. The impact of such exposure on their well-being is a matter of grave concern. As the documentary progresses and Heuermann's trial looms, the public watches with a mix of curiosity and dismay. The project's potential to uncover new insights or further complicate an already tangled case remains to be seen. However, it's clear that the documentary, much like the case itself, will continue to fuel public interest and debate. In sum, the case of Rex Heuermann and Asa Ellerup is a convoluted mix of crime, media, and morality. As each new development unfolds, it challenges our perceptions of justice, victimhood, and the ethics of storytelling in the context of true crime. The question remains: will this documentary bring clarity or further obscure the truth behind the alleged actions of the Long Island serial killer? Only time will tell.

The case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, continues to unravel with developments that sound more like the plot of a suspense thriller than reality. In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and former Federal Prosecutor Neama Rahmani delve into the latest twist: Heuermann's correspondence with Keith Jesperson, the notorious "Happy Face Killer." This bizarre pen pal relationship between two alleged serial killers raises many questions about the mentality and strategies of individuals like Heuermann. Rahmani, with his extensive legal background, offers insights into the rarity and implications of such interactions. "It's not very common but obviously this is a unique case," Rahmani observes, highlighting the unusual nature of Heuermann's situation. Rahmani discusses how serial killers often seek attention and recognition for their crimes, noting the similarities between Jesperson and Heuermann's alleged actions. The communication between the two, particularly Jesperson's advice to Heuermann to admit guilt if guilty, adds an eerie layer to the already complex case. Heuermann's response to Jesperson, expressing gratitude and stating the advice has been a help and comfort, suggests a troubling acceptance or understanding of his situation. The conversation shifts to the documentary in production about Heuermann's case, revealing another unexpected player: 50 Cent's G Unit production team. This involvement brings an additional level of sensationalism to the case, with Rahmani remarking, "I didn't see that coming." The documentary, which is to be aired on Peacock, has been a subject of controversy, particularly regarding the ethical implications of profiting from a case involving serious crimes. Rahmani and Brueski discuss the potential impact of the documentary on Heuermann's trial. They speculate whether the extended duration of the case and the publicity surrounding the documentary might influence the trial's outcome. "This is the type of case that likely is going to go to trial," Rahmani states, considering the high profile and severity of the accusations against Heuermann. The conversation also touches on the role of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, in the documentary. The arrangement, described as a licensing fee rather than a direct payment, raises questions about the possibility of the funds being used for Heuermann's defense. Rahmani expresses doubt about the ability to control the use of these funds effectively, considering the couple's marital status. Rahmani concludes that while the documentary and Heuermann's communication with Jesperson might provide sensational content for viewers, they could ultimately be detrimental to his case. "It's going to be a very interesting trial, obviously because this case went unsolved for so many years," he notes, emphasizing the case's potential for widespread public interest. As the case progresses, the public and legal communities alike will be watching closely to see how these latest developments impact the trial of Rex Heuermann. The involvement of high-profile figures and the unusual dynamics at play continue to add layers of complexity and intrigue to an already baffling case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In the ever-evolving and increasingly bizarre case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, a new development has emerged that seems straight out of a thriller movie. Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, has found herself at the center of a documentary being filmed for the Peacock Network. This revelation, coupled with the fact that Heuermann has now become pen pals with Keith Jesperson, the notorious Happy Face Killer, adds yet another layer of complexity to an already convoluted saga. Tony Brueski, the host of "Hidden Killers," delved into these developments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent. The documentary, which is being produced by 50 Cent and G Unit Productions, promises to follow Ellerup as she navigates her new reality. This decision, however, has not been free from criticism. Many view this move as a tasteless monetization of a tragedy, raising questions about the ethical implications of profiting from a criminal case still under investigation. Dreeke pointed out that Ellerup, whether she likes it or not, has been thrust into a role similar to that of the daughter of the Happy Face Killer - living in the shadow of a family member's infamous crimes. One of the most interesting aspects of the documentary is the contractual stipulation that Ellerup will not have creative control, and the proceeds cannot be used for Heuermann's defense. This condition seems to be a strategic move to maintain a semblance of ethical integrity. However, questions remain about the true impact of such a project on the victims' families, who continue to seek justice and closure. Further complicating matters is Heuermann's newfound correspondence with Keith Jesperson. This peculiar development has baffled many, including Dreeke, who noted that it is extremely rare for serial killers to correspond. The content of Heuermann's letters, in which he expresses gratitude and a sense of comfort from Jesperson's advice, adds to the enigma surrounding his character and intentions. This unusual pen pal relationship raises red flags about Heuermann's psychological state and possible motivations. It also leads to speculation about the nature of the relationship between Ellerup and Jesperson's daughter, who initially reached out to Ellerup in a show of solidarity and support. The case's complexity is further compounded by the involvement of Asa's children, who are inadvertently caught in the crossfire of their father's alleged criminal activities and their mother's controversial decisions. The impact of such exposure on their well-being is a matter of grave concern. As the documentary progresses and Heuermann's trial looms, the public watches with a mix of curiosity and dismay. The project's potential to uncover new insights or further complicate an already tangled case remains to be seen. However, it's clear that the documentary, much like the case itself, will continue to fuel public interest and debate. In sum, the case of Rex Heuermann and Asa Ellerup is a convoluted mix of crime, media, and morality. As each new development unfolds, it challenges our perceptions of justice, victimhood, and the ethics of storytelling in the context of true crime. The question remains: will this documentary bring clarity or further obscure the truth behind the alleged actions of the Long Island serial killer? Only time will tell.

In a perplexing twist to the ongoing saga of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer, an unlikely correspondence has emerged between him and Keith Jesperson, infamously known as the Happy Face Killer. This unusual pen pal relationship between two individuals connected by heinous accusations and convictions adds another layer of complexity to an already convoluted case. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joined Tony Brueski on the "Hidden Killers" podcast to dissect this bizarre development. The letters exchanged between Heuermann and Jesperson are filled with peculiarities, ranging from mundane topics like the quality of prison butter to more ominous advice on handling legal proceedings. This correspondence raises critical questions about Heuermann's mindset and his perception of his situation. Coffindaffer expressed her astonishment at this development. "I haven't seen a letter like this. It gives me great pause with Rex Heuermann," she said, highlighting the unusual nature of Heuermann seeking guidance from a convicted serial killer. The tone of Heuermann's response to Jesperson's letter, which was filled with multiple expressions of gratitude, seemed to indicate a level of desperation or at least a sense of resignation to his fate. Brueski noted the peculiar excitement Heuermann displayed in his letters to Jesperson, describing it as akin to a child receiving a letter from Santa Claus. This reaction becomes even more intriguing when considering Jesperson's advice to Heuermann: to admit guilt if he's guilty. This advice, while sound in a legal context, takes on a sinister hue in the hands of these two men connected by alleged and proven violent crimes. The role of Jesperson's daughter in initiating this contact adds another dimension to this story. Known for her advocacy and support for families of serial killers' victims, she initially reached out to Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, to offer support. This act of reaching out could have set the stage for the subsequent communication between the two men. Coffindaffer questioned Jesperson's motives in reaching out to Heuermann. While it's possible he was acting on his daughter's suggestion, Coffindaffer leaned towards the view that Jesperson's actions were driven by self-aggrandizement, a common trait among serial killers. "Typically, it's always about their aggrandizement," Coffindaffer noted, suggesting that Jesperson's outreach might be more about gaining attention than genuine empathy or remorse. This unconventional exchange between Heuermann and Jesperson adds a new layer to the legal and psychological analysis of Heuermann's case. Coffindaffer suggested that if she were a prosecutor, she would use these communications in court to question Heuermann's innocence. "Who would do this if he were innocent?" she posited, highlighting the potential impact of this correspondence on the public's and jury's perception of Heuermann. As the case unfolds, the letters between Heuermann and Jesperson serve as a reminder of the complex human dimensions in criminal investigations. While they may provide insights into Heuermann's state of mind, they also raise ethical questions about the nature of such communications and the motivations behind them. As Brueski aptly summed up, "It's a cornucopia of crazy," aptly capturing the bewildering nature of this latest development in the Rex Heuermann saga. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

"Typically, it's always about their aggrandizement," Coffindaffer noted, suggesting that Jesperson's outreach might be more about gaining attention than genuine empathy or remorse. This unconventional exchange between Heuermann and Jesperson adds a new layer to the legal and psychological analysis of Heuermann's case. Coffindaffer suggested that if she were a prosecutor, she would use these communications in court to question Heuermann's innocence. "Who would do this if he were innocent?" she posited, highlighting the potential impact of this correspondence on the public's and jury's perception of Heuermann. As the case unfolds, the letters between Heuermann and Jesperson serve as a reminder of the complex human dimensions in criminal investigations. While they may provide insights into Heuermann's state of mind, they also raise ethical questions about the nature of such communications and the motivations behind them. As Brueski aptly summed up, "It's a cornucopia of crazy," aptly capturing the bewildering nature of this latest development in the Rex Heuermann saga. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Rex Heuermann has been housed in the Suffolk County Correctional Facility since his July arrest for the deaths of three women. Asa Ellerup, his estranged wife, filed for divorce six days later. Since then she has not visited Heuermann, until now. Bob Macedonia, Ellerup's divorce attorney, confirmed Asa Ellerup met with Rex Heuermann at the Suffolk County Jail. No word on how the meeting went or what was said. She has now also attended a court hearing for the accused Long Island Serial Killer. A crew for the Peacock network accompanied her after the family signed a deal worth at least 1 million dollars to take part in an upcoming documentary. We've also learned that Heuermann has become a pen pal behind bars, writing to another serial killer, the "Happy Face Killer. In the early 90s Keith Jesperson, a long hall truck driver, killed many women. When someone else took credit for one of his murders, he started sending letters to the media and police with information only the killer would know. He put a "happy face" on each of his letters and was dubbed the Happy Face Killer. DailyMail reports that Jesperson wrote a letter to Heuermann encouraging him to confess and offering some advice. Rex Heuermann reportedly writes back, thanking the Happy Face Killer for the advice, and then complains about the food in jail and the exercise yard.

The "Happy Face Killer" is the nickname given to Keith Hunter Jesperson, a notorious American serial killer who operated in the 1990s. Jesperson's killing spree began in 1990 and continued until his arrest in 1995. He earned the moniker "Happy Face Killer" because he sent letters to the media and law enforcement boasting about his crimes, often signing them with a smiley face.Jesperson's victims were primarily women, and he targeted them while working as a long-haul truck driver, allowing him to move across multiple states and evade capture for a time. He was convicted of eight murders, although he claimed to have killed more than 160 people, a claim that is not substantiated. His modus operandi typically involved strangulation.In 1995, Jesperson was apprehended and later sentenced to multiple life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.Now after thirty four years, his sixth victim who has only been known as a Jane doe for all these years, finally has her name back. That name? Suzanne Kjellenberg.

How did a bizarre confession derail the investigation into the first murder committed by Keith Hunter Jesperson, the notorious “Happy Face Killer,” and allow him to remain on the loose, killing at least seven more women? A new two-hour “20/20” reports on how after authorities discovered the body of Taunja Bennett in the Columbia Gorge in 1990, 57-year-old Laverne Pavlinac confessed to the police that she took part in the crime. She provided convincing evidence that implicated her and her boyfriend, 39-year-old John Sosnovske, in the murder, and they were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. In a shocking twist, Pavlinac's confession turned out to be false in an attempt to escape what she described as an abusive relationship with Sosnovske. With reporting by “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang, “20/20” dives into how Pavlinac was able to dupe police, featuring audio from the couple's confessions and police interviews, and from the hidden microphone installed in Pavlinac's apartment when she tried to convince Sosnovske that he was involved in the murder. The two-hour program features an exclusive interview with Melissa Gavin, a friend of Julie Winningham, the last person Jesperson killed before his arrest; and new interviews with John Ingram, lead detective who investigated Bennett's murder; Jim McIntyre, prosecutor for Pavlinac and Sosnovske's cases; Darlene Carpenter and Bonnie McAlpine, Pavlinac's daughters; Michelle White, Bennett's sister; Melissa Moore, Jesperson's daughter; and Alafair Burke, bestselling author and former prosecutor who based her first novel on the case. The program also features Chang's interview with Jesperson from the ABC News archives and gives an inside look at how police ultimately tracked Jesperson down. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join us this week as Sarah tells the sordid tale of the Happy Face Killer otherwise known as Keith Jesperson. He was born in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada where his family life was less than desirable. Which may have helped him to check at least two of the three triggers in the Macdonald Triad. The Jesperson family then moved to the Evergreen State. After graduation, Jesperson started as a truck driver. His lifelong goal was to become a part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but he was rejected. Going back to what he knew, Jesperson headed back to the cab of an 18-wheeler. Being a long haul truck driver would aid him in his deviance and take him all over the country. Jesperson liked to confess to his crimes by writing to the press, signing off with a super creepy “happy face.” Investigators confirmed 8 victims, but Jesperson claimed to have killed upwards of 185 people. As for astrology, we talk a little about the less enjoyable traits of unevolved Aries. Upcoming this week, on Monday 4/18 Venus in Pisces will sextile Uranus in Taurus which will be a good day to buy a lotto ticket! On Tuesday 4/19 the Sun enters Taurus and the next 4 weeks will be more patient and productive. On Sunday 4/24 Mercury in Taurus will be square with Saturn in Aquarius, we recommend just staying home.
Listen to this week's episode as the hosts continue with a different side to the last case covered on the Podcast. Picking up where they left off, the hosts cover the case of serial killer, Keith Hunter Jesperson, or more infamously known as the 'Happy Face Killer'. Jesperson worked as a long haul truck driver, which made it easy for him to target his victims and get away with it. But, after years of getting away with murder, and after he was finally apprehended for his other crimes, Keith just couldn't handle someone else getting notoriety for his first crime which brought everything to light.
Welcome to a new episode, Campers! We have a sorted and chilling tale to tell you!We're going back to the 1990s when serial killers were around every corner in the Pacific Northwest. We're talking about a killer who almost got away with his crimes completely. One crime was even considered solved when a couple had seemingly confessed to the murder of a young girl in Oregon. But he couldn't leave well enough alone and craved the spotlight. He wanted the world to recognize his existence. So he began to send in letters to newspapers and even a courthouse with details of his crimes and his victims. Those letters earned him the name “The Happy Face Killer” because of the smiley faces he drew as a signature.It would take one mistake to bring it all crashing down around him.There are many twists and turns to this story and you won't want to miss it.Join us for another twisted tale and be sure to let us know your thoughts on the episode!Information from this episode:False Confessions to murderhttps://bit.ly/3DjaEJ0The Happy Face Killer's first victim: Taunja Bennetthttps://bit.ly/3xP4aAkhttps://bit.ly/3IecAG9Keith Jesperson: The Happy Face Killerhttps://bit.ly/3Irc8Vkhttps://bit.ly/3GbuAPShttps://bit.ly/3rMluVRThe many victims and the killer's lettershttps://bit.ly/3Ij7BE8https://nyti.ms/2ZSrUaghttps://bit.ly/3rxTBRcWhat not to do while in jailhttps://bit.ly/3Isl5OfThe right person is finally convicted of the crimehttps://lat.ms/3pqNdbyLaverne Pavlinac exonerationhttps://bit.ly/3Gbut6UJohn Sosnovske exonerationhttps://bit.ly/3Iais3nNetflix series watched:Catching Killers True Lies, Part 1 & 2https://bit.ly/3dclGFjMonster in My Family produced by LMNhttps://bit.ly/3Gann2p
Hada: Light verbs, heavy lifting Today's word: 하다 Meaning: to do But it can also be used in a lot of other ways, and I kind of think of it as the verb that does everything Origins: Native Korean word, from middle korean h(backward c)da https://www.ipachart.com/ Linguistic element: Korean verb basics and light verbs The basics on Korean verbs SOV word order (generally) - the verb MUST come last. Hada - infinitive, like “to do” in English. Some debate over whether the ha- or the hada- version is the “basic” version of a verb in Korean, it seems. More common forms: Haeyo, hamnida, haesseoyo, heaesseumnida Light verbs: This verb is also what's called a light verb, a verb that has little meaning of its own and works with another word, usually an adjective, as a sort of complete lexical unit. “The term light verb was coined by Jesperson (1965) to signify a group of verbs that are distinguished from lexical verbsverbs6 or auxiliaries in English e.g., take in take a walk , give in give a groan , and make in make an offer )).” (Bak Jaehee 2011) Examples in English: Have, as in “have a party” Take, as in “take a break” And “do” as in “do your homework” In Korean, 하다 is also like this and in fact you can use it to in some of the same constructions, for example, 학생이 숙제를 했어요 , The student did homework. But it's a lot more useful in Korean than in English and can be used in a lot more ways, that might seem even less related to “doing” something to an English speaker at least. For example, you can also use it to make the vast majority of nouns into verbs or even an adjective - compared with English, there's sort of a thin line between verbs and adjectives in Korean, and in many cases they work the same way. In particularly, Sino-Korean words, which make up 60-65% of the lexicon, can become verbs (or adjectives) this way: Adjectives: 소중하다, to be precious or dear; 대단하다, to be amazing or awesome Verbs: 수용하다, to swim; 결혼하다, to marry/get married But also words from English or other languages that make up that “5%” that's not Sino-Korean: 샤워하다, to take a shower; 헌팅하다, to go out and try to pick up And finally even though a lot of verbs without hada are Native Korean verbs - possibly all of them - you can use it with Native Korean nouns to make other verbs: 밥하다 - to eat rice You can't just put any type of verb, has to be generally activity or state (feature: eventuality) “The LVs are limited to primitive predicates such as do, become, etc.” Bak Sociocultural contexts/related words: Another light verb in Korean is 되다, which means to become.

This week we're covering Keith Hunter Jesperson, known as the “Happy Face Killer.” Let's be clear we're unhappy about it! Although a similar sounding name his case should not be confused with the "Smiley Face Murders." Jesperson had a pretty rough childhood. In his young adult life we start to see some disturbing behavior that later escalate to very violent crimes. He eventually killed at least 8 women and dumped their bodies all over the Pacific Northwest - and even other parts of the country. His victims were even found as far away as Nebraska and Florida. This is a perplexing tale of abominable murders, wrongful convictions, and ominous confession letters signed with happy faces worthy of a lifetime movie… literally!

Keith Hunter Jesperson (born 6 April 1955) is a Canadian-American serial killer who murdered at least eight women in the United States during the early 1990s. He was known as the "Happy Face Killer" because he drew smiley faces on his many letters to the media and prosecutors. Many of his victims were sex workers and transients who had no connection to him. Strangulation was his preferred method of murdering, the same method he often used to kill animals as a child.After the body of his first victim, Taunja Bennett, was found, media attention surrounded Laverne Pavlinac, a woman who falsely confessed to having killed Bennett with the help of her abusive boyfriend, John Sosnovske.Jesperson was upset that he was not getting any media attention. On a bathroom wall hundreds of miles from the scene of the crime, he drew a smiley face and wrote an anonymous letter in which he confessed to killing Bennett and provided proof. When that did not elicit a response, he began writing letters to the media and prosecutors.His last victim was the crime that ultimately led to his capture. While Jesperson has claimed to have killed as many as 185 people, only eight murders have been confirmed.Source Material for this Episode:1) Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Hunter_Jesperson2) Murderpedia: https://murderpedia.org/male.J/j/jesperson.htmYoutube: 3) Various documentaries and news footage for: Keith Hunter Jesperson Books4) "I" The Creation of a Serial Killer.

Nov. 28-29, 1979: The days that told the future Disco was the ticket at Uncle Sam's in the late '70s. But the club's destiny changed course in Nov. 1979, when the Ramones and Pat Benatar rocked the Mainroom on back-to-back nights. In this episode, hosted by Zoo Animal's Holly Hansen, we learn how First Ave became a rock 'n' roll sanctuary. This is the second episode of The Current Rewind's First Avenue season. If you missed the first one, catch up here. Transcript of The Current Rewind season 2, episode 2: "Nov. 28-29, 1979" [Pat Benatar, "Heartbreaker"] Mark Wheat VO: [over Benatar] It's 1979, and Pat Benatar is on stage at Uncle Sam's, jumping up and down with a microphone in her hand. The crowd has been waiting for this one, the single from her new album, and as the guitar builds, so does the energy on the floor. ["Heartbreaker" fades up for a few lines, fades down while Icetep's "Hive Sound" fades up] Mark Wheat VO: Like most emerging rock stars, Pat is wearing all black — and behind her, a guitar crunches through the chorus. From the dance floor to the balcony, people are cheering and nodding to the beat. For us, this is a glimpse of the past — but people at that '79 Benatar show were seeing the future. As Pat performed at the Uncle Sam's disco in downtown Minneapolis, the club's corporate management had their eye on an exit. Thanks to her and others, the venue's next chapter would turn out a lot less Saturday Night Fever and a lot more rock and roll. I'm Mark Wheat. This is The Current Rewind, the show putting music's unsung stories on the map. For our second season, we're exploring the history of First Avenue, the downtown Minneapolis venue that has become one of the Twin Cities' — and the country's — greatest clubs. In our first episode, we covered the beginning of First Ave's life as a music venue...which hit a few bumps right away. When the Depot filed for bankruptcy in the summer of '71, it stayed closed for a year — before an out-of-town company turned it into a disco. That scheme stayed alive until 1979, when two rock shows — the Ramones and Pat Benatar, playing back-to-back nights — set the table for First Avenue's future. For this second episode, we're excited to introduce Holly Hansen, the musician behind Zoo Animal. Holly will help us tell the story of First Ave's second incarnation — as a suburban disco in the middle of downtown Minneapolis — and the people who, in 1979, turned it into a, quote, "New Wave Experience." [rewind noise] Holly Hansen VO: The two most vivid memories I have of First Avenue both involve intimacy, but in very different ways. I was standing at the side of the stage during a Kevin Drew show, and a stagehand made eye contact with me and waved me over. Next thing I knew, I was slow-dancing with Kevin on stage, thinking, "Why me?" I seriously think there are many people in that room who would've loved to be on that stage holding his sweaty body, but here I was, simply being a good sport. [Zoo Animal's "Black and Charred" fades up, plays under VO] Holly Hansen VO: A few years later, I released the Zoo Animal album Departure, some of the most personal music I'd ever written, and the release show was at the 7th St Entry. I don't know how to explain what was going on that night, but it felt very different. It was so quiet and focused; it was like the audience took up part of the weight of the songs. I had never felt so connected with an audience before or since. I feel myself at First Avenue because it's ready for any experience, always centered on music. It's a place where no matter who you are or what you like, the audience and performer can be one. In the late 1970s, First Ave wasn't known as a venue for intimate performances. And then punk happened. Back in the summer of 1972, the Depot had been shut down for a year. Then, in July, it reopened under new management. Instead of a black exterior, the former Greyhound station was now painted red, white, and blue. The Depot's owners hadn't sold the company, but American Avents, a company based in Cincinnati, took over its operation, turning it into one of several Uncle Sam's franchises throughout the U.S. Chris Riemenschneider: I think they had like eight or nine by the time that Uncle Sam's opened here. Holly Hansen VO: Chris Riemenschneider is the author of First Avenue: Minnesota's Mainroom. Chris Riemenschneider: And in fact, the first year or two of the Uncle Sam's, they struggled a bit early on, apparently. But one of the things that really helped it was in maybe about '75 or '76, they changed the liquor law to — Minnesota went from 21 to 18 and up, drinking, and obviously, that was a big boost to the place. Andy Sturdevant: By the late '70s, you've got the heyday of kind of the seedy downtown Hennepin strip. Holly Hansen VO: Andy Sturdevant is the co-author of the book Closing Time, a history of Twin Cities bars. Andy Sturdevant: Like, that's the place that you're talking about when you're going to school and the taunt that you hear is, "Aw, your mom works on Hennepin!" This is that era. And so, you've got that whole strip, and there's still a couple of bars just barely hanging on from that older era. But you've mostly got strip clubs; you've got porno shops; you've got clubs. That's where the gay bathhouses are. Holly Hansen VO: And Uncle Sam's was one of the roughest bars near the Hennepin strip. The manager was a U of M dropout named Steve McClellan. Steve McClellan: My name's Steven McClellan, and I worked in a nightclub downtown from 1973 to 2004. [4:00] Holly Hansen VO: Steve met with The Current Rewind's producer, Cecilia Johnson, for two separate interviews. For the first, he brought LeeAnn Weimar, First Avenue's former director of marketing. For the second, he came with Richard Luka, who started as a doorperson and ended up designing First Ave's logo. Steve had a story about everyone. [supercut of Steve McClellan exclaiming names: "Dave Ahl. Tom Spiegel! Cara Lewis. Gary Rue! Pat Lyons. Kevin Sadowski [ph]. Mark Downey!"] Holly Hansen VO: And as you might hope, Steve McClellan is one of live music's biggest fans. One of his favorite quotes is from Frank Zappa: "Once you record it, you've sold out." He says he picked up this attitude as a college kid. Steve McClellan: I'm a West Bank guy. I remember when people would go to the West Bank when I was going to the U. I lived on the West Bank from '68, '69 to '73. And you had five, six venues doing live music. Holly Hansen VO: Steve was on the West Bank attending the University of Minnesota, but dropped out in the mid-'70s. Before that, though, he started working the bar at Uncle Sam's. Steve McClellan: My feeling is in '75 they put me in management training. I had been bartending probably since late 1973. And after they sent me to the management-training thing, I was ready to go back to school. I was fed up with the corporate nature of it. And then I came back, and I was pulled out of training early because Pat Lyons, who was managing Minneapolis at the time, got promoted. They pulled me out of training and gave me First Avenue. Holly Hansen VO: Even after Steve's promotion, he and his bosses didn't always get along. Steve McClellan: You wanna get me on a rant when I put the first black doorman at the door when American Avents hated it, and all the people involved couldn't believe I had a black doorman? Ah, women in management — I put a woman named Marsha Lear in the Uncle Sam's management program, and I wish I could find her again, because I owe her an apology. American Avents was totally not gonna have a female manager back in the '70s and I realized I sent her — I went through their management program. It's a good old boy network. I hated it. But looking back and seeing how their management meetings went and all that, it would be like you were being run by a — I never went to a fraternity, but back in college I always thought they were kind of a weird group — frat guys. Pretty elite group, they drink a lot of beer. And my image of that whole upper management at American Avents reminded me like they were all from Buffalo, New York. It was one big frat running the company. Holly Hansen VO: The music at Uncle Sam's was largely DJs playing safe pop hits, as dictated by the national office. Chris Riemenschneider: They had this deal where there would be DJs with a live drummer, and this was actually where Bobby Z, later of Prince and the Revolution, first played the club. He was like 18 or 19, on dance night, and, you know, just playing along to recorded music. They used to have another guy, Denny Craswell, who performed with a jungle theme. He had drums built like into, like, logs — it was like this jungle vibe. Pretty cheesy stuff, from what I can tell, but it was a big hit. They only had concerts once in a while — they would bring in some local and regional stuff. And then later on, after McClellan got a little more involved, in the late '70s they brought in stuff that was more Top 40 . . . [Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight": "Skyrockets in flight/Afternoon delight"] Chris Riemenschneider: . . . that stuff didn't do well. Holly Hansen VO: One feature at Uncle Sam's that brought repeat business was its Sunday-night teen dances. One of the regulars there was the future Time member and hit-making producer Jimmy Jam, as he told Pete Scholtes of City Pages in 2003. Jimmy Jam: Yeah, it was a disco, and it was packed, man. I know they had at least a thousand people every Sunday. There was a crowd, that was sort of a roller skating crowd that I used to hang out with at the Roller Gardens, and I think the Roller Gardens was like a big Friday night thing. So you'd go to the Gardens on Friday night, and Saturday there was a whole lot of different options, and then Sunday was always Uncle Sam's. But it was a lot of the same people you'd see, just kinda from my circle. I went to Washburn High, and so all sort of that crowd from there. But really, the crowd came to Uncle Sam's from everywhere. I mean, back when Hopkins was really a suburb and like seemed like it was on the other side of the world, kids from Hopkins and Minnetonka and Wayzata, and it was basically like a sort of a melting pot of races and ages, but mostly a lot of cute girls, and it was just a fun place to hang out. Holly Hansen VO: The history of disco is complicated, and although it has roots in black and queer culture, Uncle Sam's' version was decidedly mainstream. Chris Riemenschneider: At that point, it really wasn't city kids as much as a lot of the suburban kids were coming downtown to hit Uncle Sam's. It kind of was that kind of place, yeah, a little bit more of a shot bar kind of vibe, and that's when they had the Firecracker drinks, which apparently was just basically red food dye or red coloring and vodka. Nobody talks about those drinks fondly, but for some reason, they were ubiquitous there, and people still have the Firecracker glasses, which I guess goes with the patriotic Uncle Sam's idea. Holly Hansen VO: Most of the bands that played Uncle Sam's did covers. But there was the occasional local band playing originals. The Suicide Commandos, one of the Twin Cities' first punk groups, formed in 1974. Later, the Commandos would become regulars at a new club called Jay's Longhorn, where Peter Jesperson worked as house DJ. Peter Jesperson: It opened in June of '77, and I think the DJ booth - it was a Naugahyde disco unit that they rented until they built a booth for me in the corner. But at the time, yeah, we rented this Naugahyde disco thing with flashing lights that we never used, and it was on wheels so it wasn't very sturdy, and people would bump into it and records would skip and I'd be screaming at people. Holly Hansen VO: The Longhorn was where you went if you lived in the Twin Cities and identified in some way as "punk." Bands that played there included Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, the Police, and the B-52's. The Longhorn was a world away from Uncle Sam's. Steve McClellan: I kind of really felt an outsider to that whole Longhorn scene. I was not part of it. Holly Hansen VO: But soon, Steve would hire someone who was. Kevin Cole: I'm Kevin Cole. I am chief content officer at KEXP in Seattle. Holly Hansen VO: Kevin was a Longhorn regular who worked at Hot Licks, a record shop downtown, where one of his coworkers was a young Jimmy Jam. Kevin Cole: I was hired in '78. I worked at First Ave/Uncle Sam's from '78 to '91. I was brought in to help usher in a change, and I was a total misfit for the club at that time. It was a pretty mainstream suburban Saturday Night Fever-type disco, and that era was starting to die. And I think also in part because Steve Egsgard, the DJ who had kind of reigned supreme during that '70s disco heyday, was leaving, so they needed a DJ. I remember going to the back door and meeting Steve. At that time I — Joey Ramone was my idol, so I looked like one of the Ramones — long hair, ripped jeans, tennis shoes. And Steve and I had a great conversation, but I didn't know, really, how it went. And then like a week later he called and he's like, "Hey, can you start in like two days?" So I think they had a need. [Kevin laughs] Holly Hansen VO: In fact, they did. Steve McClellan: I could tell American Avents, at the time, was already planning on dumping Minneapolis, but didn't tell anybody. That's my gut feeling when I look at paperwork and stuff. So that brings us through the turmoil in the transition from Uncle Sam's to Sam's. We were kind of just dumped. Allan was jilted. Holly Hansen VO: That's Allan Fingerhut, who still co-owned the club at that point. Steve's plan was to bring Jack Meyers, a lawyer who Steve knew from Catholic school, on board for damage control. Steve McClellan: When American Avents pulled out and Allan was deciding to have both Byron and Mel Orenstein, the attorney, telling him, "Close the club, we can't lose any more money," there was two of the big hoops I had to hurdle. I do remember I took a half cut, [of] whatever American Avents was paying me at the time, because I wanted to add Jack to the management team. And then of course, American Avents pulled out by sucking all the money out and putting no improvements in. So when we had taken over the club, we were like $60,000 in debt with no backup revenue source. That's a huge amount of money. Holly Hansen VO: Money was the big difference between Steve and Jack's management styles. Steve McClellan: I always wanted to spend money. Jack always wanted to save money. And that was our whole working relationship. I had just taken over as manager, and I started getting bills from people for stuff that happened in '70 and '71. And I couldn't — this is at the time American Avents had pulled out. If there's any reason for that club being open financially, it would be Jack. He went through years of stressful deposits and non-deposits and the financial end. LeeAnn Weimar: It went to, replacing light bulbs was an issue sometimes. Steve McClellan: Oh yeah, because we had the big fluorescent tubes that were expensive and just putting them up was a pain in the butt. Holly Hansen VO: The turning point for Uncle Sam's came on November 28, 1979. That night, Steve had booked the Ramones. It was the New York punk heroes' third show in the Twin Cities. Peter Jesperson, the Longhorn DJ and co-founder of Twin/Tone Records, who also worked the counter at the Lyndale Avenue record store Oar Folk-joke-opus, saw the first. Peter Jesperson: Oh, you know, Kelly's Pub in '77. But of course, I was at every Ramones show I'm sure they ever did in Minneapolis. We did in-stores with them when they were in town at Oar Folk for each of the first three albums. By the third time the Ramones were there, I think that we had several where they got so crowded the police came, and that was one of them because people were spilling out all over the corner there at 26th and Lyndale. They got bigger each time, and some people came because they were a curiosity, and other people came because they were just such a great band. But they were super nice. They were so friendly - loved hanging around the store, [and] they all bought records. Holly Hansen VO: The one time Jesperson skipped seeing the Ramones was in November of 1978, at the St. Paul Civic Center, when they opened for Foreigner. The longtime Minneapolis Tribune critic Michael Anthony remembers cringing at that show. Michael Anthony: What it suggested to me was an elemental truth about pop music and the venue — how important the venue is because their brand of punk, those short quick tunes, works only in a club. It has to have a small thing and boom-boom-boom-boom. You can't do that in a big cavernous room. Whereas Foreigner wrote music that was meant to be played in an arena. Holly Hansen VO: But the Ramones didn't just sound better in a club. Their whole vibe felt better in a smaller room. Punk rock was a tight-knit subculture, and McClellan responded instantly to its do-it-yourself ethos. He booked the Ramones and Pat Benatar on consecutive nights, through the booking agency Premiere in New York. He says this was a total coincidence. Steve McClellan: Now understand that I got along with very few major agents at the time, but both of those shows came from a guy named George Cavado [ph] at Premiere Agency, which was, at the time, Premiere had Bruce Springsteen. That's how I got my U2 dates, was through Premiere. George was an exception to the rule. I hated the big agents. They were so pretentious — arrogant. George wasn't. Holly Hansen VO: Steve didn't get along with several booking agents in town. He also struggled to work with the Minneapolis Police Department. This becomes a key part of the story once the Ramones show up at Uncle Sam's. Steve McClellan: When I took over as management, the Minneapolis Police Department were the security there. At that time, you needed them. Otherwise, if you had trouble, you couldn't — they wouldn't come to you. But it was a Drink and Drown night, one of those pay $5 and get a dime drink [nights]. There was one night when the police kind of overreacted. Something they had instigated blew up and they had fights on the street — 7th Street. There was, like, 22 arrests. The police just started arresting people. And as it turns out, a lot of was, they were just arresting people without merit, and they ended up dropping it all. But the city officially decided we were a club that the Minneapolis Police could not work for, unless they were bonded, and we couldn't afford bonding. It was ridiculously too expensive. But I breathed a sigh of relief, 'cause I couldn't tell them what to do. Holly Hansen VO: From then on, Uncle Sam's had to hire its own security staff. Enter Richard Luka, who worked the door from '75 to '93. Richard Luka: At the time, I was a competitive bodybuilder and on the track team of the U of M. I was 260 pounds, and they had a Wednesday night Drink and Drown night, where you pay $5 at the cover, and drinks were a dime. So I came in and I walked in and I looked around and somebody said, "Hey, you — would you like to work here?" And I said, "Do I get free drinks?" I said, "Okay, all right." [Steve laughs] Steve McClellan: We were just hoping we could keep it open another day. Richard Luka: Okay. Alright. Yeah, just don't beat anybody up; just don't drink too much. That's all it was. Steve McClellan: When people came in for security, A, they always assumed we wanted a bouncer. I took the term "bouncer" out of the job descriptions after American Avents left. They wanted big bouncer guys to be on staff. And remember, we inherited a police force that were bouncers. That was their job: kick butt. And they took seriousness in it, back in the Mayor Stenvig days. They were the best bouncers you could have, because they were armed and they had a whole police force they could call. But the way they handled security stuff was not what you wanted. MUSIC: "Blitzkrieg Bop - Live at Rainbow Theatre, London, 12/31/77; 2019 Remaster" Holly Hansen VO: Working security at the Ramones and Pat Benatar shows changed Richard Luka's life. Richard Luka: About that specific night, it was seeing disco one night and then all of a sudden, "Who are these people in the black leather jackets and the green hair? Who the hell are these people?" And this band comes out and I'm thinking, this is just gonna be like any concert. They're gonna do a couple of songs and then they're gonna slow it down. It was like [Richard laughs] they're not slowing this thing down! This crowd is crushing us, and they're yelling and screaming, and people are climbing over us, and we're looking for people trying to spit on them. And at the end of it I said, "This is so awesome." [Richard and Steve laugh] And my ex-wife was there, and she was totally into disco. She looked around and said, "These people are disgusting. Disco's never gonna die." And she said, "I'm expecting you home immediately," and she left and I went, "F*** you. I'm gonna help the band load out." And I helped the Ramones and their road crew load up, and I stayed there until like three in the morning. They gave me a Ramones t-shirt, and I wore it to work the next day, and then I had to show up the next night for Pat Benatar. Holly Hansen VO: The Benatar tickets cost $1.92. That in itself was unusual — Uncle Sam's usually didn't have a cover charge. LeeAnn Weimar: Yeah, but Pat Benatar was a sex symbol then. She was a rock chick, and every guy I knew wanted to see that show. Steve McClellan: I still say it was a really good show. LeeAnn Weimar: I'm sure it was. Steve McClellan: Live show-wise, and I didn't understand the Ramones because they had no radio play. Why did they sell out? LeeAnn Weimar: She's still out there doing it. Well, because the Ramones were the Ramones. Steve McClellan: I didn't know that. Holly Hansen VO: Kevin Cole DJ'd both shows. Kevin Cole: At that point in time, it was still the old-school Uncle Sam's DJ set-up, which was on the stage. So during the Uncle Sam's heyday, the DJ would be on the stage; there'd be dancers on the stage; a lot of times, there'd be a drummer on the stage drumming along to whatever the DJ was spinning. I'd be spinning before they went on, and when it came time for the band to play, [I] would make the announcement and literally duck. And I would just sit back there onstage as the band was playing.And both were really incredible high-energy shows. I remember after the Pat Benatar show, getting them to sign this standup from the store. And it was pretty funny. They wrote something like "Keep rockin' into the '80s, man." [Prince's "Head"] Holly Hansen VO: The same week as First Avenue's first Ramones show, a young Minneapolis R&B singer performed his first headlining concert away from home. On November 26, 1979, Prince performed at the Roxy in Hollywood. Before they went onstage, Prince told his group, "I'm going to personify sex in every possible way." That tour, he debuted the song "Head," a risqué, as-yet unrecorded track influenced by the New Wave. [Prince's "Head" fades up, plays for a few seconds before fading out under Holly's voiceover] Holly Hansen VO: Uncle Sam's was ready to embrace a new wave, too. Back home, the Ramones and Pat Benatar shows did so well that Steve McClellan won a prize. Steve McClellan: This is where I got an award one year, because I did Pat Benatar and the Ramones the same week and they both sold out, and I was the highest-grossing of all fifteen clubs for that one week. Now, that is not really amazing when you consider admission prices and stuff, and when you do two $1,500 shows. Holly Hansen VO: The two shows also set the stage for Kevin Cole, along with DJs Roy Freedom and Paul Spangrud, to revamp First Avenue's dance nights. Kevin Cole: It was a real transitional period, and I think another thing that's significant about those two back-to-back shows is what happened right after those shows. So the Ramones were on November 28, Pat Benatar on the 29th, and then in the Mainroom, Roy and I presented, on Friday and Saturday, "A New Wave Experience," which is how it was billed at the time. And that was, in part, part of this big statement of like, "Hey, we're changing. Here's two national bands that we're really excited about." And, "Here's what we're doing on the dance nights." And Friday and Saturday nights were the bread and butter of Uncle Sam's and Sam's and First Avenue. We were going from the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever to playing the Clash and the Talking Heads and Blondie and Iggy Pop and Gang of Four and Devo and B-52's, and so it made for a really interesting challenge. And that was some of the most vital music being made. But part of what made ultimately, I think, First Avenue really successful was this philosophy that Steve really, really supported, and it was this idea that we were gonna play an eclectic mix of dance music. [Kevin takes a deep breath] It was a challenge. I mean, early on we'd clear the floor. [Kevin laughs] Holly Hansen VO: In order to pay the bills, Steve made it his mission to fill Uncle Sam's calendar, with DJs and live bands. Steve McClellan: You have this amount of money you gotta cover if you're open seven days a week. "Geez, $300, I can make that happen. If we do a college night with mud wrestling, we'll get $300, right?" And I knew if I was only open five days a week, well, take $2,100 and divide it by five instead of seven. Every day I was closed, to me, cost us money. Holly Hansen VO: In addition to big-name headliners, Uncle Sam's booked openers from around the Twin Cities, forming ties that would only get stronger. [Curtiss A's "Land of the Free"] Kevin Cole: The Pat Benatar show, Curtiss A opened. So we were developing those relationships with those bands already and working toward ultimately where we got to, which is a space where live bands could play. Daniel Corrigan: So, Micah, who used to work here, once said that First Avenue is a pirate ship that doesn't go anywhere. Holly Hansen VO: That's Daniel Corrigan, First Avenue's official photographer, quoting Micah Ailie. When Cecilia mentioned this to Steve and LeeAnn Weimar, they had a ready response. Steve McClellan: Not only was it a pirate ship, but it had a captain that didn't know where he was heading, or which shore we were heading for, or . . . LeeAnn Weimar: Or where the Bermuda Triangle was. Steve McClellan: Yeah! And we were constantly lost. [Steve laughs] Bermuda Triangle! LeeAnn Weimar: But god, we had a good time. [Icetep's "Hive Sound" fades up] Mark Wheat VO: In 1980, the crew dropped the "Uncle" and just went by "Sam's," a name that would last a couple of years. Next episode, you'll meet the newly christened "First Avenue" in a heyday of historic shows — few more significant than Bad Brains, Sweet Taste of Afrika, and Husker Du.

Patricia Jesperson is Chief Curiosity Officer at EmployeeEXP, and co-author of the newly re-released Reversing the Ostrich Approach to Diversity: Pulling your head out of the sand. With more than 25 years working on the people-side of the business, she specializes in working with employers to create better Employee Experience outcomes. As the curious type, Patricia has spent the majority of her career exploring how to maximize the talent experience with an emphasis on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) and Total Rewards. This drive for exploring what-ifs enables her to deliver custom content as well as EmployeeEXP proprietary models to help her clients attract, retain, develop and engage talent. Examples include The EmployeeEXP 8 x 9 Box Communication Analysis™, a re-imagined/re-purposed 9-Box that invites organizations to explore their approach to communicating key programs to increasingly diverse talent. It asks the question, “how confident are you that what you spend on Employee Experience is aligned efficiently to attract, retain, and engage today’s diverse talent?” She also introduced The Inclusion Matrix™ (IM) in 2019, which elevates the conversation from traditional DEI training to creating inclusive and engaged leaders. Believing that one must continue to learn to keep current, she seizes opportunities to always-be-learning through teaching at Augsburg University as a professor in the MBA and adult-education programs and her Board experience e.g. Human Resource Executive Forum Board, Augsburg University Alumni Board, Chair of the Workforce Development and Education Policy Committee for the MN Chamber, and Director of Diversity Inclusion for SHRM MN State Council. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Patricia transitioned her career to working in diversity and inclusion and the people side of business Why Patricia believes that diversity and inclusion practitioners can learn valuable lessons from business development and marketing Why an outcome-based approach to diversity and inclusion can be more effective than a content-based approach How Fortune 500 and 1000 businesses lead the way for diversity and inclusion, and why now mid-market businesses are realizing the need to embrace D&I to compete for talent Why support for a sustainable diverse and inclusive culture needs to be available at all leadership levels of an organization Why human resources and diversity and inclusion shouldn’t be compartmentalized into separate silos but be viewed as a part of an organization’s overall success How Eric S. Raymond’s computer programming essay, The Cathedral & the Bazaar, can teach the value of a faster, more innovative and collaborative process Why organizations often make the mistaken assumption that they have communicated their message clearly and that it is universally understood Additional resources: The Cathedral & the Bazaar by Eric S.

The 32nd Annual Forum on Workplace Inclusion Conference was held from March 10-12, 2020 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Conference brings together attendees from across many industries and from many different backgrounds who all share a passion for and focus on diversity and inclusion in the workplace. In this special episode of What’s The Difference, host Sara Taylor attends the Forum on Workplace Inclusion 2020 Conference and speaks with special guests Scott Fearing (Manager of Diversity Education at the University of Rochester), Lisa Fain (CEO of the Center for Mentoring Excellence), Patricia Jesperson (Chief Curiosity Officer at EmployeeEXP), Richard Webb (founder and principal Diversity and Inclusion consultant at Second Layer Consulting), Kurt Wiger (Coordinator of Volunteers and Interns at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute), Rosemond Owens (Director of Health Equity Integration at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota), Jackie Thomas-Hall (Director of Culture, Diversity & Inclusion at Allina Health), Deborah Dagit (President of Deb Dagit Diversity, LLC), and Chris Matuseski (Organizational Development & Effectiveness Consultant at HealthPartners). What you’ll learn about in this episode: Scott Fearing, the University of Rochester’s Manager of Diversity Education, discusses why today’s divisive and polarized political climate is a particularly challenging obstacle for the furthering of diversity and inclusion, and he explains why being invited to a seat at the table isn’t the same as being included. He discusses why the increasing prevalence of digital conversations has made no impact on the commonality of marginalization, and he discusses why focusing on commonalities is the solution to polarization. Lisa Fain, the CEO of the Center for Mentoring Excellence, explains why she believes that social distancing, remote work and virtual offices can make building a thriving workplace culture more challenging due to the increased difficulty of building trust and relationships. She explains why intentionality and creating deliberate touch points is the key to overcoming this challenge. Patricia Jesperson, Chief Curiosity Officer with EmployeeEXP, shares why she believes that a fully integrated diversity and inclusion curriculum rather than a chapter-by-chapter approach is the secret to adapting to the needs of today’s organizations. Richard Webb, the founder and principal consultant at Second Layer Consulting, shares why diversity and inclusion frameworks used today often date back to the 1960s and 1970s, and he shares why there is an urgent need for more modern frameworks. He explains why there is often a disconnect between older and newer educational models, and he suggests that moving from viewing diversity and inclusion as a job to viewing it as a way to live is the key to modernizing our understanding. He shares why it is important to devote time to developing your understanding of the field.

Kathleen Breitman, CEO of Dynamic Ledger Solutions, the company behind the Tezos protocol, and Ryan Jesperson, president of the foundation, discuss the Tezos initial coin offering, which was the largest ICO at the time of sale. Kathleen explains why she wouldn't do anything differently, except for the choice of foundation head, Johann Gevers, with whom Kathleen and her co-creator and husband, Arthur Breitman, ended up in multiple disputes. She muses as to why many people initially praised Gevers and then later revealed that he was not liked or that he'd defrauded them when they'd worked for him. Ryan and Kathleen also explain how they will attempt to help Tezos compete in the competitive smart contract platform space, despite the fact that Tezos is built in less well-known computer languages, and they explain why they've chosen delegated proof of stake as their consensus protocol, despite the criticism that it could create a plutocracy.

Episode 027: Keith Hunter Jesperson is one of Canada's most notorious exports to the United States. Born in Chilliwack British Columbia, Jesperson and his family emigrated to the US when he was a pre-teen. Early on he showed signs that have become signposts of the budding psychopath, cruelty to animals and a love of setting fires. Keith's first kill was Taunja Bennett, 23, of Portland, Oregon. Another couple was convicted for the crime, but Jesperson's ego wouldn't let someone else take all the credit for his hard work, leading him to leave the first Happy Face note in a truck stop bathroom admitting to the crime. This episode covers his early life, first murder and another attempted murder very soon after. CONTENT WARNING: Dark Poutine is not for the faint of heart or squeamish.
